FSYO violas with mentor Jeanne-Louise Moolman who is also a member of the Odeion String Quartet and the Free State Symphony Orchestra's principal Violist. The viola sounds lower than a violin, but higher than a cello. It has four strings, called the C, G, D, and A strings. The highest string is the A. The viola is played with a bow in the right hand. Playing with the bow is called arco. Sometimes the strings may be plucked (pizzicato). The person that makes and repairs violas is called a luthier. The Viola is also known as the Cinderella of the orchestra. #FSSO #Music #Education #Development
